💡 Solution & Explanation
Article 32 provides an aggrieved citizen the constitutional right to approach the Supreme Court directly for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights through writs like habeas corpus and mandamus. Article 226 grants a similar writ jurisdiction to High Courts, but it is not exclusively restricted to Fundamental Rights. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar famously referred to Article 32 as the very heart and soul of the Constitution due to its role as a guarantor of civil liberties.
